Saying "That's fucking stupid." to me means that it absolutely should have been allowed to happen. Elves on Harleys with Uzis, Phil. Eleves on Harleys with Uzis.

Well, I had shipped a product on paper... I guess that counts?

Probably, but that doesn't seem to be there anymore either. I'll hunt for alternatives - thanks!

@mrsambarlow.bsky.social - is #wargames available to watch/play anywhere at the moment? I used it as an assignment in my interactive narrative class, but Eko seems to be gone. (Sub-doman stub is there.) Fandango At Home says it's not available... Any ideas? (Or any alternative ideas? :) ) Thanks!

Secrets in the Static: Lynchian Horror TTRPG by Thought Punks Secrets in the Static is a tabletop roleplaying game about surreal dread, unstable identity, and small town horror, written by Rev Casey the author of No Angels Live Here and NEVER Stop Smiling.

Come to our small town, where the Static reigns. Wavelength vanished in the early 90s, but it remains in eerie perfection. But now a signal is warping reality and rewriting people to its whims. Who will you become?

One of my favorite portraits. Inspired by numerous portrait painters, notably Anthony Van Dyck & Lorenzo Lotto, I wanted her to be slightly distracted, immersed in 'waves' of paper. A big shout out to Claudia Rodriguez for modeling!

I understand that. The thing is, this is an overall trend in TV. Not just 1 show taking a long time. These days 18 mo between seasons would seem fast for most shows. 2 yrs seems standard. 3 yrs not uncommon. Streamers have abdicated the idea that they have to resell the show to us, their *customers*

This idea of the "promise" is so important. I like thinking of it as a promise rather than pushing the "concept" or "pitch" of the game that everything hangs off of. The promise transcends even the execution and pushes a game beyond any awkwardness, clunkiness or dissonance that players encounter.

More TTRPGs Need to Include a “Game Pitch” - Fari RPGs Let’s face it, we (probably) all have too many TTRPGs lying around. Buying TTRPGs, collecting them, reading them, and playing them are for many four totally different hobbies. That means...

More TTRPGs should include a "game pitch".

Not a marketing pitch to get GMs to buy the games.
A game pitch meant for the GM to use to lure potential players.

The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie.

An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough.

So finish the thing.

Original Blade Runner Textures When I was working on The Fifth Element at Digital Domain in 1996, we had access to the original black line art that was used to create the brass etched pieces for the miniatures. The line work was cr...

For all matte painters and concept artists.

These are scans of the original b/w line artwork created for the brass etched silhouettes used in BLADE RUNNER.

They were scanned whilst we were working on THE FIFTH ELEMENT

These are a free download

Enjoy!
